WHAT'S AHEAD FOR 2018

Youth Camp

Vacation Bible School

Send Your ABC Kid a Gift!

In August we will be hosting a youth camp in Rwanda for the older kids in the ABC Kids program. This is an opportunity for these youth to get away from the daily distractions in life and connect with God and their peers. It’s a time filled with impactful messages, deeper spiritual growth, and many fun games and activities.

For the younger ABC Kids, we will be hosting a Vacation Bible School. This is an engaging and unforgettable experience as they hear the Gospel, explore their creative side with a variety of crafts, and have a blast playing all kinds of games.

If you’d like to contribute toward the Youth Camp or VBS, please click here or email us at abckidsghm@gmail.com for information.

Christmas 2017 Celebrations

We had two Christmas parties; On 19th December, we were at Ruhengeri where all kids had gathered at Ryandinzi Christ Gospel Church. We shared a word of God by Jacqueline, from the book of Ephesians 6:1-2 where kids were reminded to respect their parents in our Lord Jesus Christ. And on 20th December we had another one at Christ Gospel Church Kimironko and it was all successful. Children gave their thanks giving testimonies, we heard a word of God from Pastor Etienne and then we shared lunch and then all kids received their gifts.

Thank you for sharing your generosity and love with the ABC Kids in Rwanda. Christmas 2017 was another festive and wonderful time for these kids.

The sponsored kids received a set of new clothes while all of the kids who are waiting for sponsors received a new backpack for the upcoming school year.

All of the kids enjoyed a huge feast and a Christmas party to celebrate the birth of Christ and enjoy a good time together.

The staff in Rwanda hosted two separate events. One in the Northern Province (Ryandinzi) and one in the Central Province (Kimironko).

Please see the photos below.

Meet Esther Mutoni

Esther Mutoni is 14 years old and is the middle child between two brothers. Esther's mother is a genocide survivor. She has no steady job but is able to get some work from time to time to support her kids. It however is not enough to provide for all their needs. As a genocide survivor, the government provides housing. Their father is not around.

Esther is in Senior 3 at a school nearby. She has not been able to pay her school fees so the school will not release her progress reports or exam results until she is able to pay off the debt she owes. When her mother gets some money from the small jobs, she sends Esther to the school to apply the money to the outstanding balance.

Esther loves biology and wants to become a pediatrician. She is in the choir at school and her favorite thing to do in her free time is pray and sing. At home, she helps with the dishes and tries to help with cooking. Her favorite food is rice with meat.

Esther, her mother, and younger brother are very dedicated to attending church and praying. All three will take a week to fast and pray, which is rare to find children willingly fasting for a whole week. But their faith is strong and the joy of the Lord is evident in their huge smiles. Esther's favorite scripture is John 3:16.

Please pray for this young girl and her family.
